We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE all things Vintage and Pinup, as you all know. And last year we decided to enter our very first Pinup Calendar Photo Contest, and much to our surprise, we WON! Because YStudio is a husband and wife team, we were thrilled that each of us had a winning image published in the PL Lifestyle 2011 Pinup Calendar.
And…………we were ecstatic when I received a called from Desiree of PL Magazine, asking ME to shoot the cover image for their 2012 Calendar!! Are you kidding me? OF COURSE!!! We set up the shoot for a date in November and although it was a bit of a rainy day, we were able to get some fab images.
The hair and makeup team of The Pinup Parlor in Berkeley, CA made this all complete, along with a custom made couture dress made this shoot a lot of fun and needless to say, beautiful and timeless!
Seen here is the cover image selected by the magazine (photographed in Berkeley, CA), as well as a few of other favorites from this shoot… COMING SOON!!! Please support the magazine by purchasing your very own Pinup Calendar……you can BUY HERE!!!!

Meet Amber and Chris a great looking and fun loving couple who have known each other since high school!
During the month of August, Chris got down on one knee at Oakland’s Morcom Rose Garden and asked his best friend Amber to take his hand in marriage! I don’t like spoiling the ending of any movie so you will have to see it for yourself to see what her answer was.
Congratulations Amber & Chris…..
Enjoy a sneak peek of a fun filled morning engagement at Oakland’s College Avenue and the Morcom Rose Garden.

YStudio would like to congratulate Ken and Natalie on their win of our recent contest “Stories of Love.” Ken was so excited he predicted from day 1 that he was going to win and really was determine to get the word out to their friends and family.
This happy couple from Pleasanton, CA, remains as one of our favorite wedding shoots, they are so full of life, energy and down to earth, how could you not love them? Plus we all had a blast at this wedding….Another bit of great news came a few months ago when Natalie called me to announce that her and Ken were expecting! Not only was I excited, but I was thrilled that we have stayed in touch and I look forward to shooting their new baby soon!
It’s so wonderful when couples become friends, and to keep in touch and be the one entrusted with their life, their milestones and their photography is heart touching to say the least!
Congrats again guys! Your prize is forthcoming….surprise!!!! And hoping to see you at the shower!
